Counting Plane Tropical Curves via Lattice Paths in PolygonsZhang, Yingyu 12 1900 (has links)
A projective plane tropical curve is a proper immersion of a graph into the real Cartesian plane subject to some conditions such as that the images of all the edges must be lines with rational slopes. Two important combinatorial invariants of a projective plane tropical curve are its degree, d, and genus g. First, we explore Gathmann and Markwig's approach to the study of the moduli spaces of such curves and explain their proof that the number of projective plane tropical curves, counting multiplicity, passing through n = 3d + g -1 points does not depend on the choice of points, provided they are in tropical general position. This number of curves is called a Gromov-Written invariant. Second, we discuss the proof of a theorem of Mikhalkin that allows one to compute the Gromov-Written invariant by a purely combinatorial process of counting certain lattice paths.

Using Tropical Degenerations For Proving The Nonexistence Of Certain NetsGunturkun, Mustafa Hakan 01 June 2010 (has links) (PDF)
A net is a special configuration of lines and points in the projective plane. There are certain restrictions on the number of its lines and points. We proved that there cannot be any (4,4) nets in CP^2. In order to show this, we use tropical algebraic geometry. We tropicalize the hypothetical net and show that there cannot be such a configuration in CP^2.

Linear systems on metric graphs and some applications to tropical geometry and non-archimedean geometryLuo, Ye 27 August 2014 (has links)
The divisor theories on finite graphs and metric graphs were introduced systematically as analogues to the divisor theory on algebraic curves, and all these theories are deeply connected to each other via tropical geometry and non-archimedean geometry. In particular, rational functions, divisors and linear systems on algebraic curves can be specialized to those on finite graphs and metric graphs. Important results and interesting problems, including a graph-theoretic Riemann-Roch theorem, tropical proofs of conventional Brill-Noether theorem and Gieseker-Petri theorem, limit linear series on metrized complexes, and relations among moduli spaces of algebraic curves, non-archimedean analytic curves, and metric graphs are discovered or under intense investigations. The content in this thesis is divided into three main subjects, all of which are based on my research and are essentially related to the divisor theory of linear systems on metric graphs and its application to tropical geometry and non-archimedean geometry. Chapter 1 gives an overview of the background and a general introduction of the main results. Chapter 2 is on the theory of rank-determining sets, which are subsets of a metric graph that can be used for the computation of the rank function. A general criterion is provided for rank-determining sets and certain specific examples of finite rank-determining sets are presented. Chapter 3 is on the subject of a tropical convexity theory on linear systems on metric graphs. In particular, the notion of general reduced divisors is introduced as the main tool used to study this tropical convexity theory. Chapter 4 is on the subject of smoothing of limit linear series of rank one on re_ned metrized complexes. A general criterion for smoothable limit linear series of rank 1 is presented and the relations between limit linear series of rank 1 and possible harmonic morphisms to genus 0 metrized complexes are studied.

Prym Varieties of Tropical Plane QuinticsFrizzell, Carrie January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Mathematics / Ilia Zharkov / When considering an unramified double cover π: C’→ C of nonsingular algebraic
curves, the Prym variety (P; θ) of the cover arises from the sheet exchange involution of C’
via extension to the Jacobian J(C’). The Prym is defined to be the anti-invariant (odd) part
of this induced map on J(C’), and it carries twice a principal polarization of J(C’). The
pair (P; θ), where θ is a representative of a theta divisor of J(C’) on P, makes the Prym
a candidate for the Jacobian of another curve. In 1974, David Mumford proved that for an
unramified double cover π : C’η →C of a plane quintic curve, where η is a point of order two in J(C), then the Prym (P; θ) is not a Jacobian if the theta characteristic L(η) is odd, L the hyperplane section.
We sought to find an analog of Mumford's result in the tropical geometry setting. We
consider the Prym variety of certain unramified double covers of three types of tropical plane quintics. Applying the theory of lattice dicings, which give affine invariants of the Prym lattice, we found that when the parity α(H3) is even, H3 the cycle associated to the hyperplane section and the analog to η in the classical setting, then the Prym is not a Jacobian, and is a Jacobian when the parity is odd.
